We knew it was coming sometime this year, and yesterday we heard murmurs that "sometime" could be today, and at last, it is. T-Mobile has an iPhone 5. Yes, it's the same iPhone 5 that was announced five months ago, but maybe (just maybe) it's better. »3/26/13 11:34am 3/26/13 11:34am

If your kid is spending too much time on Facebook, what should you do? Cut the Internet? Annoying for you. Restrict their access? Not realistic. Ground them? Haha.

AT&T's upgrade offer for iPhone 4 is "generous," as Steve Jobs put it. Any iPhone owner eligible for an upgrade any time this year can upgrade immediately—up to six months early. But maybe you shouldn't. »6/07/10 4:50pm 6/07/10 4:50pm

Apple has sneakily put the UK iPad data plans up on its website before networks Orange, O2 and Vodafone have had a chance to issue news themselves—and what's obvious so far is that it pays to shop around. »5/10/10 6:00am 5/10/10 6:00am

Have you guys heard? Verizon needs to charge a $350 ETF on smartphones to survive! Otherwise they won't be able to pay for their network! Wait...that doesn't make any sense. »12/21/09 9:48am 12/21/09 9:48am
